ANTON SCHROEDER, OF ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA;

HINGE-HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No; 543,105, sea July 23, 1895.

Application filed January 22,1894- Serlal No. 497,602. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTON SOHROEDER, of

St. Paul, Ramsey county, Minnesota, have in-- from the window-frame, and with the ordinary size of sash can be easily accomplished by one person from the inside of the house without requiring laddersoutside by simply passing the sash through the window, hangin g it, and closing into place.

To this end my invention consists in providing a two-part separable hanger, the pintle member of which is secured permanently to the top of the storm-sash and the hook member to the top of the Window-frame.

My invention further consists in the spe cific construction and combination hereinaf- In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is an elevation of awindow-frame and storm-sash hung therein with my improved hangers. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a window-frame and storm-sash hung therein with my improved hangers and swung partly open. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of that part or the hook member of the hangerwhich is fastened to the window-frame. Fig. 4: is a perspective View of that part or the pintle member of the hanger which is fastened to the storm-sash. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the hanger complete and by itself, and Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the hook member of the hanger.

To apply my improved hanger to the stormsash A and window-frame B, the hook members O of the two or more hangers to be used in hanging the sash A are symmetrically set in and secured to the cross-piece 2 of the window-frame so that the lower ends of the hookbases 3 are just flush with the lower edge of the cross-piece. The sash having been fitted to the window-frame, the pintle members D of the hangers are then hung in the hook members O and screwed to the upper ends at of the storm-sash A. The V-shaped hook of the member O of the hanger is peculiarly formed, its point 5,. being turned out in order that the catching of the pintle 6 upon the hook when hanging the sash may be easily accomplished. Theinner edge of the hook proper 7 is straight and tends downwardly and inwardly to the pintle-socket 8, so that as the sash, the hangers of which have been hung over the points 5, is drawn into place and the end of the sash bears up against the lower side of the frame cross-piece 2 the pintles are drawn down and necessarily in at the same time, thereby setting the storm-sash closely into place in the window-frame as the pintle 6 slips into its socket 8.

It will be observed that the inside face of the hook 7 is inclined outwardly at an oblique angle to the vertical face of the plate 0 and that the socket 8 drops or extends below the end of the inclined face. The effect of this is to allow the plate D to slide inwardly until it reaches. the socket 8, when it drops vertically, soas to bring the pintle 6 below the lower end of the inclined face portion of the hook and the shoulder 9 beneath the lower portion of the hook, with the result of bold. ing tho plate D in a vertical position and preventing it moving upward until its lower portion is thrown outward at an acute angle, as

illustrated in Fig. 2, when it can be lifted and then slid outwardly along the inclined face until released from the hook.

It will further be observed that'the outwardly-turned end 5 will constitute an abutment against which the plate D will bear when thrown into a substantially horizontal position, and thus hold the pintle 6 in the socket 8 and prevent the plate D being moved from off the hook 7, except when the plate stands at an acute angle to the face of the plate 0. These features afford safeguards to the secure holding together of the two plates and prevent accidental disconnection of the immovable, and prevents the sash, except when approximately horizontal, from being blown or jarred out, since it is held down by the window-frame. The sash hung with my improved hanger is designed to be fastened when closed with the ordinary hook or shuttier-fastener upon the inside of the frame, thereby permitting the opening of the sash for airing the room, washing the windows, and

to similar purposes.

I claim- The hinge hanger composed of the plate provided with the hook having its inside face
